Love the Ruger #1's... but scoping them can be challenging to say the least. You need a scope with a long tube (available mounting length) and good eye relief to get it back far enough (without resorting to extension rings). Mine currently wears a Zeiss Conquest 3-9 x 40. I've also used a Leupy fixed 6 x 36 and 6 x 42 and a Sightron BS 3-9 x 42.

BTW, welcome to the OT forums.

If we're not suppose to eat animals...how come they're made of meat? Anomymous

My Ruger #1 in .458 Lott has a 4x Zeiss Conquest, which is fantastic. My Ruger #1 in .458 Winchester Magnum has a Pentax Gameseeker 4x… which is also excellent. Swift makes a 1.5-4.5 that would be a very good choice for your caliber. Leupold 2.5-8 might be acceptable.

Your 7x57 was virtually the military deathknell of the 30-40 Krag. A very nice round that should "fit" the Ruger #1 well. My #1's are very accurate, a joy to shoot. I would go for good glass, low magnification range… on the high end… Schmidt and Bender 1.5-6 would be a dream.

You have a lot of options… have fun with it. Great rifle.

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living
